Do You Want More Fruit? 



New Vigor in Your Trees? 



You are sure of such results in using 



Nitrate of Soda 



the tremendously effective King of Fertilizers, whose value has been scientifically 

 demonstrated again and again. Proof is abundant in your vicinity. Read what 



Prof. C. I. Lewis, of Oregon Agricultural College, says of his own discoveries: 



"IN EVERY EXPERIMENT in which NITRATE OP SODA WAS 

 APPLIED TO APPLE ORCHARDS IN HOOD RIVER the plots to which 

 this element was applied showed a MARKED INCREASE IN VIGOR OF 

 GROWTH OP TREES, a DECIDED IMPROVEMENT IN COLOR OF THE 

 FOLIAGE, AND IN MOST INSTANCES A NOTICEABLE INCREASE IN 

 PRODUCTION OF FTIUIT. The most pronounced results were derived 

 from its application to matured trees of low vitality in orchards that have 

 been kept continuously under clean cultivation, and without irrigation, 

 since planting." 



Can Anything Be More Convincing? 



Nitrate of Soda contains 15% of nitrogen, immediately available. Also renders 

 effective the pota.sh in your soil. Now is the time to act. Write us for literature 

 and further information.
